see - you're going the pace I was aiming for (3:20) - need to find my occy strap

oh puhleese... You'll do better than 3:20. Especially on a shiny new bike.

That's awesome! I'm from Forest Lake also, might try that one next year when I have some more time in the saddle.

100km will be more than double my longest ride as it is!

If you can do 50km you will be surprised how easy you would find the B2GC. It's very flat with alot of people riding to help motivate you.

Due to my dumb @pple device being somehow set to Sydney time I'm up a whole hour before I needed to be.Fortunately we noticed that another clock was showing Qld time and realised what had happened. Now I'm killing time as its not really worth going back to bed. Good luck everyone, enjoy your ride and stay safe

On the train heading back from the coast. Spied one accident just past the Glenn Hotel. The guy had a little blood on his face but he was upright and in good hands with the Ambos. The Retro Riders made it safe and sound however Wal had to unpick a chain tangle. Bloody Strava segments. Hope all enjoyed the day and had a safe journey especially the newbies.Waz
